A geometric, monoline sans with consistent stroke thickness and sharply cut terminals. Many letters are built from simple verticals, horizontals, and near-circular bowls, with deliberate breaks that create crisp stencil bridges. The curves are compact and controlled, and the overall spacing feels even, producing a clean, engineered rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same logic, with segmented joins and open counters that keep shapes clear at display sizes.
Works best for display typography where the stencil construction can be appreciated—posters, cover art, product branding, and packaging. It also suits signage-inspired applications like wayfinding, labels, and industrial-themed interfaces, especially where a precise, engineered look is desired.
The tone is industrial and contemporary, with a modernist, no-nonsense feel. The stencil interruptions add a technical, fabricated character—suggesting cut vinyl, laser-cut plates, or painted markings—while remaining sleek rather than rugged.
Designed to deliver a clean, modern stencil aesthetic that stays legible and visually consistent across an alphabet and numerals. The intent appears to balance functional clarity with a distinctive cut-and-bridged motif suitable for graphic, theme-driven typography.
The stencil breaks are applied systematically across straight stems and rounded bowls, creating recognizable silhouettes without excessive fragmentation. Round characters (like O/Q/0) emphasize vertical bridging, and diagonals (like A/V/W/Y) keep a sharp, architectural stance that reads well in bold compositions.
